This bug is in Hugin for a very long time, at least since I started
using it 4 years ago. I just tried version 2010.4 RC1 and it fails right
at the beginning when using CPFind. The root problem is, that some of
the tools that Hugin uses do not support unicode filenames on Windows.

There is a quick a dirty fix which I already suggested - to use short
paths. Also the user should be at least warned about the problem, if he
tries to open or save such files.

I think that using .bat files on Windows is not a good idea in the first
place. Windows shell is really bad and should be avoided if possible.

Title:
  "could not decode image" when path contains non-latin chars

Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Hugin fails to add files to project if there non-latin characters (i.e. cyrillic) in path, gives "failed to decode image" message.

Also, when cyrillic letters are used in project file name, they are converted into ISO latin codepage when the file is created. I can supply the screenshots to make the point clear.

Both tested on build 2925 on WinXP
